If you are thinking of or have made such a channel I'm happy to share it here.
I watch a few on #YouTube but would like to use #PeerTube more. Channels like: #YDAW, #FascinatingHorror, #KurgesagtInANutshell.

I was at the ELTE Museum of Natural Sciences first, in the Mineral Collection. I told folktales and legends related to Corundum (mineral of the year 2024). First to kids, then adults.
Then I was at the Polaris Observatory telling legends about the Northern Lights.
Full house each time, and great fun 😊 ❤️

It originated with Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg, way back in 1734. But only now can astronomers directly observe that, yes, planets really do form in clouds around newborn stars. Science takes time.

Direct imaging of exoplanets

I have been consistently failing a Constellation Myths plan year after year... might be time to actually do it this time. I want to do constellation myths outside of the ones everyone knows... ✨

Book:
How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming, by Mike Brown
If you are in my generation, Pluto losing its spot as a planet is likely a sore topic for you. I was therefore delighted to find this book, and learn more about just what the heck happened and why. By the end of the book I was not only stunned by the amount of work that went into the process, but I also learned to understand why Pluto is not a planet anymore.
